434
434
* GSList automatic free
435
435
* ffi2lua fix for enum**, lua2ffi fix for enum
436

faster, needs a little bit less data but a bit more core.
446
* make-link.lua: evaluate optional conditions in the function list (to support
450
* tables can be a vararg argument; currently they can only contain strings.

567
* fix for tests/018-enumptr.lua
568
* dump_struct: follow pointers to other structures
569
* boxedvalue: metatable with __tostring and __index, via that "value" to
570
access the value; do a typecast if so requested
571
* closures: code moved to own file (closure.c)
572
* closures: new Lua value for closures. The user has to create closures
573

595
* core library (now "gnome") works, separately so far is glib (with gobject),
599
* ongoing remodeling of the library for better modularity, including the

682
corresponding code in script/xml-types.lua, script/xml-output.lua.
683
* script/xml-types.lua: fixup_types now copies the is_native setting of the
685

686
the last type to the typemap.
687

694
* attempts to reduce data size (structure sizes of type_info, struct_elem; not
696
* struct type_info remodeled to union type_info; room for module name for

* libs/MODULE.lua moved to src/MODULE/spec.lua
699
* better error message when a module uses a cmph method that's not supported
701

725
* struct ffi_type_map_t: removed lua2ffi_idx, ffi2lua_idx, lua2struct_idx,
726
struct2lua_idx; added just conv_idx and structconv_idx. The structure is
727
currently 34 bit long, which is padded to 64 bit again. Added code complexity

740
"true" to pass a pointer to a NULL pointer and treat it as output argument.
741
* fix to freeing of char_ptr_ptr (was broken)
744

745

750
* src/hash/hash-generate-simple.c redesigned, compiles again
753

757
* new script/show-sizes.lua to inform about .so sizes (linux only)
760
* looked at glui, an older Lua/Gtk binding from late 2004 written by Steve
761
Donovan. It offers a set of hand-coded bindings for a few widgets of Gtk 1.2
762
and is only known to work on Linux.
763
* simple hash: save space by not storing duplicate values
764
* cmph: use fixed 32 bit per bucket, and also combine duplicate values.
767
* change in type_info_t.nn - instead of module_name_ofs have a flag
768
name_is_module: saves space (now 13 bit padding), remove struct
769
module_info.auto_depends.

780
* most configure.lua files deleted, as they did exactly the same simple calls. Only the core module (gnome) still has a (large) configure.lua.
781
* changed the TYPE_xxx constants to GENUS_xxx (in include/common.h). After all
782
they are stored in the field "union type_info.nn.genus" etc.
783
* doc/en: documentation menu is now multi-level. More documentation.
784
* gnome: rename widget*.c to object*.c
785

823
* script/extract-messages.lua finds all usages of message IDs, and generates the html.in files (per module)
824
* existing messages converted to this input format
825

834
* some types added to the include_types array various spec files, mainly glib.
835
